What grand picture to contemplate is
the change wrought on the worlds his
tory by the exercise Of these benevolent
principles. 1t clothes the naked, feeds
the hungry, and transforms the rude
savage into harmless man. It loosens
the menacles from the slave, and opens
the dungeon door and let's the captive
60 free. That this has not been the
universal result Of nominal Christianity,
does not in the least invalidate the
great truths of Gods moral law. The
moral as we'll as the intellectual world
moves onward and upward. Knowl.
edge is the second great requisite the
Christian is exhorted to add to his faith.
If the perversity of men prompts them
to continue in any great national crime
so long that Gods indignation is visited
upon them, His retribution is terrible,
as is evidenced by the Egyptians of old,
and the fearful convulsions of our own
nation from 1860 to 1885. But when
each and all shall realize their response
bilities, their duties, and their immortal
destiny, and become true soldiers in the
army Of the Prince of Peace, no national
sins will then be possible, but like Israel
of old, we shall lend but not borrow.
We can then realize the reason of the
language Of our text, why God could
condescend to visit the son of man,
when he had invested him with an inn
mortality that should bloom in eternal
youth, when those worlds should grow
hoar with age. This then is the only
legitimate conclusion that can be drawn
from our text. To suppose that Omnip.
otence "who upholds all things by the
word of his power" surrounded by
suns, rank aboye rank, and worlds in.
Vulnerable, should come down to visit
man, "the creature of day, spouse of
the worm, and brother of the day." ami.
mated by nothing more noble than the
worm on which he treads, seems a wild
absurdity.
No wonder that those who look to the
grave a. mans eternal all, can only OK.
claim in the sad and pathetic language
Of the brilliant Ingersoll. "Life is mar.
now vale between the cold and barren
peaks of two eternities. We strive in
vain to look beyond. We cry aloud,
and the only answer is the echo of our
wailing cry" But the Christian is
cheered by that hope that reaches to
that within the veil. In the hour of
mortal dissolution whisper comes from
the lowly Redeemer, "In my Fathers
house are many mansions, 1 go to pre-
pare place for you." When the angel
of God lifted the curtain from the ages
to come, from out the depths of that
eternity behind us, comes a voice that
reaches to the farthest verge of that
ocean of eternity that stretches before
US, II am Alpha and Omega, the begin.
ming and the end, the first and the last.'
"Blessed are they that do his command.
ments, that they may have right to
the tree Of life, and enter in through
the gates into the city" He can ex-
claim in the beautiful language of the
poet:
''0o sun. while mercy hold me upon natures
rhi. is:s and bitter cup Of grief sh.. man shall
Go tsli theou sawsst the last Of Adams race,
On sarth's sepulcheral clod,
The dsrkening universe defy
TO quepch his hope In Immortality,
Or shake his trust in God" 81
